Peacock – Hand-painted Wooden Wall Plate gond just held in a quieterTwo peacocks face each other at the centre of a riot of colour, their tails dissolving into swirling, symmetrical patterns that fill the entire plate a design rooted in Tholu Bommalata, the shadow puppetry tradition of Andhra Pradesh.
